There are no codes, only frequencies. For a comprehensive database of active frequencies in your area, visit:

To program your BC55XLT:

Turn on radio.

It will be in scan mode. Press Manual (orange button) to stop scanning.Press Manual button to step through channels to get to the one you want.(Or press channel number and then manual button)

If "LockOut" is displayed it means this channel isn't being "Scanned."You will want to lock out constant "broadcast" services such as NOAA or airport weather. Pressing Lockout will toggle the feature on and off.

Select a channel to program. Use the keypad to enter frequency. Use "E" for Enterkey. If the radio displays an E this means Error. Usually, thefrequency you typed in is outside of the capabilities of the scanner.

Once you hit the E you will immediately start hearing anything that'sout there on the frequency you entered.

Push the "Review" button and the scanner will display the frequencythat is programmed for the channel. A "-" will be displayed for thedecimal point.

Programming the 248 is fairly simple once you know the steps.- Turn the scanner ON- Press the MANUAL key to stop scanning- Enter the channel number that you wish to program (01, 02, etc.)- Press MANUAL- Enter your frequency, including the decimal point (e.g. 156.055)- Press E to confirm- Press MANUAL to advance to the next channel

For a comprehensive database of active frequencies in your area, viksit:

If your scanner is the BC350C (the section you posted in), here's a link to the owner's manual which will give you detailed programming information:

If you have a different model Bearcat scanner, try:

1. Push MANUAL to stop scanning and advance to the channel that you want to program.

2. Enter the desired frequency, including the decimal point (e.g., 156.015).

3. Press E or ENTER to set the frequency.

4. Repeat the process, starting with 1 above to select the channel.

NOTE: With some Bearcat scanners you may need to press the E or ENTER key before entering your frequency.

These are general steps that work on most recent Bearcat models. If they don't work on yours, try different variations. You can also check Uniden.com -- they may have an online manual that you can download and print.

The BC147XLT is too old to obtain a manual from Uniden, but here's how you program it:

Turn it on & press 'Manual', then enter the number of the channel you wish to program & press 'Manual' again. Now enter the frequency you want to put in that channel, example 155.550, and press "Enter'. Then press manual to go to the next channel or repeat the first procedure to select a different channel other than the next one. Repeat the programming procedure for each channel.

I am not familar with that model scanner but all the uniden radios I have used have direct freq entry......Hit manual button, select what channel you wish to enter it in, hit manual again. Enter the freq desired, then hit enter. That should enter the freq in that channel space. Hit enter again to go to the next channel for programming. Hope this helps.

danval, I looked up a pic of your scanner and it is pretty straightforward. If it is the 16 channel I was looking at, here is the step by step programming.1- Push manual button to go to the channel you want to start programming.2- Enter the freq number in.3- Push the E button to enter it in the memory.4- To review what you programmed, push the Review button.5- Use manual button to step to next channel and start over from #2That should get you started with the scanning hobby.The scanner has a Priority button that when activated will stop scanning and go immediatly to the priority channel if someone keys their mic.If you need freq's (or more of) for your area, go here and click on your state and county and it'll give you a complete listing.http://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/Hope this helps you out, let us know,, Mechanic
